We are an independent information, support and advice service covering the whole of Fife.
Self Directed Support Options (Fife) was set up by Disabled Person's Housing Service (Fife) in July 2015 as a response to the need for an independent service in Fife that provided information, support and advice to people about self directed support. With all new referrals and reviews for social care and support going down the self directed support pathway since 2014 there was a real need for impartial information and advice.
As an organisation assisting people with disabilities with their housing options it fits well within the organisation as many disabled people looking for housing will also need support to help them manage their tenancy, meet their care and support needs, be as independent as possible and form ties with the local community which is something self directed support can help with.
We are funded through the Scottish Government's Support In The Right Direction fund that also supports several other organisations across Fife and further afield in Scotland.

Information, Support and Advice
Our SDS Options Advisor can provide you with information about self directed support, go through the four options with you and what the assessment process will involve, carry out an SDS Options Assessment to look at what areas you need support with, provide support and advice with your self directed support pathway, and assist you to find other sources of support if you are not eligible for social care.
